Birds of Prey: the hunters become the hunted
Over 22,000 people have signed the RSPB's petition to campaign for better control over wildlife crime, which was handed to the Scottish Government - but more still needs to be done, according Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre.
In the last ten years, around 300 birds of prey have been illegally poisoned and another 100 have been killed by nest destruction, shooting or trapping.
And Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre is determined to raise awareness about the issue among the public, to protect beautiful birds, such as the golden eagle, which is now classed as a "rare" breed.
